White Nights (불야성)

There is only one person who'll concoct such an outrageous plan.

Holding Old sir on a neck-leash,

you must go all the way to Seo I-Gyeong.

If we just leave her alone, the woman will gobble up everything.

Did you go somewhere yesterday?

I didn't see you all day

I went to Busan on an official trip.

For what official work did you go on the trip?

I went on Team Leader's behalf, to a funeral.

It was a wedding I couldn't neglect,

so I had to send at least Office chief, for courtesy.

What's the matter?

Pardon me?

You just had the look... like you had something to say.

It's not like that.

Do you want me to pretend to be fooled?

I'm feeling quite weird.

Soon after CEO Gang Jae Hyeon's press conference,

he got hauled away by the Prosecutors, I heard?

Yes.

It all seems to be like soap bubbles...

Approval ratings, popularity... Things like that.

People are not interested in the actual truth.

They're deceived by their own illusions that they want to believe.

The donation bank will get investigated.

Will you be alright?

I left no traces of involvement.

Managing it... was all Chunha Finance's charge.

Then Ma Ri's father...

He will get punished in accordance with his greed.

If he doesn't want that, he can escape too.

There you go again...

worrying about others for no reason.

It's you I'm worried about, CEO.

Every step you take, you make enemies, you know.

Those people won't just sit and watch if you do well.

No need to bother about it.

It's through working with such people, and splitting with them, that I got so far.

Are Pak Geon-U and you also going to split up?

We've both got what we wanted,

so there's no need to go together anymore.

What's wrong?

Working with both of you... felt so nice to me.

Just because you felt nice,

I cannot be doing what I don't like.

Once Seongbuk-dong is taken care of, I'll need to get busy on Mujin Group.

But, why did you come today?

To give you some praise.

From all I hear, you did remarkably better than expected.

A little while ago, Jeong Mi Yeon's younger sister called.

Her sister, it seems, is staying at a friend's home in LA.

So your trip to Jeongseon was of help.

Did you dig out some contact details?

She said she'll first check with her sister and then let me know.

Tell Jeong Mi Yeon that we will accede to whatever her demand is.

It's not a simple money issue.

Apparently, she wants nothing to do with her ex-husband or Collin Company anymore.

If the amount is big enough, the thinking also can change.

Keep working at it.

If and when Jeong Mi Yeon returns to S. Korea,

the Prosecutors will make their move.

I understand.

By the way... where did you tell Se Jin you had gone, in your official trip?

I told her that I went to Busan.

You said you went for a wedding, right?

I said it was on your behalf, to a funeral.

You're back again...

You should rest a few days. Why are you here?

There's no urgent matter here.

There's nothing much to do around the house.

On the latest matter, you took much trouble.

It was nothing.

Please have this.

It's a bonus.

Based on how I feel, I should give more,

but it's just a formal amount.

No need to give me such a thing.

I did it because I wanted to.

Once we acquire Korea Works,

our company's future profits will be so much higher.

Compared to that, this is just pittance.

So just accept it.

Instead, buy me a meal then.

I haven't had lunch yet.

Okay. Let's go for a lunch meeting.

You took so much trouble. Take care.

And... you did a good job.

Assemblyman Jeong hasn't changed a bit.

Compared to greed, the abilities are lacking.

Isn't that why you can have him obey you easily?

Once Assemblyman Jeong leaves his party with the rebels,

I will prepare to have them join the new party.

But first before that, we need to crackdown on CEO Seo.

She has her eyes set on blocking my path.

Do you have another plan in mind?

She's an opponent who normally shows no weakness.

I want you to carefully investigate.

Yes, Old sir.

Seongbuk-dong seems to be picking Hanpyeong Party's Assemblyman Jeong Gi Tae.

As expected.

They wanted him right from the start.

Do you want to do a background check?

There's no need.

Washed-out politicians like him

will anyway go down together, when Seongbuk-dong falls.

Will Seongbuk-dong easily take the bait?

They'll be occupied with finding a weakness on me.

We need to have the right timing, in dangling it.

Your preparations?

I'm almost done.

When Seongbuk-dong takes the bait...

should we help dig their graves right then, I wonder.

This time, we must completely finish them off.

What about Pres. Son Gi Tae?

A foreign-travel ban was out before he could escape.

He would be hiding away somewhere.

Chrmn Son Ui Seong can't dig him out either.

Tail Son Ma Ri first.

Son Ma Ri?

He doesn't have the tenacity to flee alone.

He fears his father, but will surely contact his daughter.

I understand.

Our chairman... must be feeling terrible.

Chunha Finance funds that went into the Charity Bank

got all frozen just like that!

Are you now... going to add fuel to the fire?

There's no need to get mad at me.

It's a contract that President Son placed the seal on,

and I was only taking it as he asked me to keep it.

You think I've gone senile or something?

You sold Gi Tae some borrowed-name accounts,

but you had other names on the contract!

And now you ask us to spit out that money?

If you feel wronged, bring your son over, chairman.

I can only talk to President Son.

Listen here, Chairman Song!

Cut down that temper of yours, chairman.

Shouting and screaming only raises your blood pressure.

Review that contract at your own leisure,

and call me once you're done reading.

Who is it?

It's me, who else?

You came alone?

Open the door, okay?

Call someone to clean it up! What's this?

Don't want them to know you're on a wanted list?

Watch what you say.

I don't know what to do with you, Dad!

Enough of useless talk.

Did you bring the cash?

Money. I mean money.

Seriously. I'm sick and tired.

I asked you to use my card!

Use your card, and ask people to catch me?

If not a prosecutor, your Grandpa will be catching me.

I'm going to check out of here.

Staying more than 3 days at one hotel is dangerous.

Just surrender and undergo investigation.

CEO Gang or whoever...

was ordering from above...

Isn't it enough to say that?

So you weren't asked to do this, huh?

You caused trouble without telling those above.

Am I right?

Dad!

Enough with the nagging. Just leave!

I'll call you in a few days.

If it's a call from an unknown number,

pick it up quickly.

I want to go and report you!

Ma Ri! Ma Ri!

You won't report me, right?

I trust my daughter, okay?

Seo I-Gyeong!

You think I'll die just by myself?

Not a chance!

It's you I'm worried about, CEO.

Every step you take, you make enemies, you know.

Those people won't just sit and watch if you do well.

I thought you had pulled out of the new city project.

If it's that good a project, I can't give up on it.

I only put it on hold due to other urgent matters.

Gallery S is also joining an external investment group.

It's that... one can't enter the project just because one has money.

The demands are quite picky, so it's never easy.

Geon-U, that rascal, tidied it up so carefully,

that even I can't put a hand in that!

If one received something, one must plan to repay it too.

I also know...

that your role was big in our acquisition of Korea Works.

But still, the new city project

is kept by Geon-U to himself, so what can I do?

Even if you torture me,

you won't hear the answer you want.

Because I hated taking sides between Seongbuk-dong and you,

I transferred full authority to Geon-U, you see!

CEO Seo.

Just give up a bit on the new city project,

and really think of another project to do with Mujin.

And if that annoys you then,
